Wheel Blanks Options

[Ruroniarc]

Hey, I don't know if this is in the right section, or even possible, but I figured I would ask.

I am going to college next year, and I'm going to be attending Worcester Polytech Institute. Which means, I have access to about 13 CNC machines. I'd like to machine my own rims for my Celica. Does anyone here know of a place where I can get wheel blanks, like ready-made rims but nothing cut out of them?

Once again, I'm not sure if they even do this outside of the motorcycle realm. But if at all possible, I want to CNC my own rims, for something a little more unique.

Thanks guys.

Small Edit For Picture: This is a motorcycle rim.

Yeah, I was gonna wait until I was about two years into my education. The school lets you do whatever you want in their machine rooms as long as you don't break ****. I just don't have a clue where I could get the blanks.

Also, about the trade thing. I'm actually going for Electrical and Computer Engineering, but I have a strong basis in Mechanical from my Dad, so I want to incorporate the best of both worlds into my project.
